Primary vs. General Election

• The Primary Election is your opportunity to select the best candidate within your party to represent your party in the General Election
• The General Election is your opportunity to select the best candidate over the other party’s candidate to put those particular principles into action

What if you don’t want to “align” with a particular party?

• Example - you like Shohei Ohtani as a player and you want him to win - he’s currently playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series - for Ohtani to win, you are saying that you want the Dodgers to win. If the New York Yankees win the Series, Ohtani does not. Period. So, it doesn’t matter if you like the Dodgers or not - it doesn’t matter if you like party politics or not, if you want particular views and values to be advanced, you will need to align with the party that advances those views and values and vote accordingly.

What if you don’t like the Electoral College and how the President is selected?

• Again, the Electoral College is about winning a majority of the votes from the majority of the states - like winning 4 out of the 7 games in the World Series - it’s not about how many runs (or votes) that you get, it’s about getting the majority of the runs (votes) in the majority of the games (states).

Finally, what if you think that your vote doesn’t “count?”

• Doesn’t matter - it’s your vote - and you have both a responsibility and opportunity to cast a ballot - take it.
• Also, voting for candidates “down ballot” is tremendously important - not just voting for the President in this election.
